William and Catherine Royal Wedding Dolls: Behind the Scenes

Mattel released this video for the April 29th anniversary of the royal wedding. It's very interesting to watch the props and the backdrops being designed and crafted. Mattel puts a lot of effort into their photo sets. If only the same attention to detail were spent on each doll!

I think of all the Kate dolls, the Mattel set (while clearly "Barbie as Kate') is the nicest. There is a certain charm that there is a touch of Barbie in each celebrity, like Tonner is in each of his sculpts. As a bald guy tho, I wish Will (and for that matter, Tim McGraw) were bald!

Isn't it frustrating that the amazing realism and artistic talent used in creating these set pieces aren't manufactured for even Mattel's "adult collector" market? I would LOVE to see REALISTIC diorama settings (think of the update done for FAO several years ago of the Silkstone Fashion Shop...it was breath-taking)and pieces--NO plastic, NO "B"-monogrammed furniture, NO pink/violet/peach refrigerators, etc.

Wouldn't be cool to have that carriage? WOW! Such detail. I, too, wish some of that could be channeled into the collector barbies. They don't even try to keep up with IT, especially the quality of the older IT dolls and their elaborate costuming.

Black Holes

When I switched photo servers a few years ago, many of my images were lost in a black hole. If you are going back in time throughout my blog, you will come across these black holes. It's unfortunate but it would take me a huge amount of time to identify and republish the images. If there is a specific one you are very interested in, email me with the date of the post and I will try to get it for you.Thanks for your continued interest in my blog!Terri
